A proud resident of Holmesville, Robbos' Awabakal family goes back generations in the Hunter from Toronto to Wallsend. He says family is important to him, and he's not short of family members, boasting a total of 257 cousins.

Robbo is an active member of the Awabakal Co-operative and has a fantastic collection of ties with traditional dot painting designs.

He says they're his personal trade mark when out on the yard in the cut-throat game of used-car sales.
